Coffee Story

Description

This is The Monarch brought to you by Onyx Coffee Lab. The Monarch features washed coffees from Ethiopia and Guatemala. A very sweet sugar dense coffee that creates multiple complex sugar browning notes from Swiss chocolate to cacao with molasses and a subtle note of mulled wine. This blend pairs great with cream or milk, enjoy this coffee best as drip or espresso.

This coffee blend had excellent balance of deep and rich notes of flavor combined with a hint os sweet flavors and low acidity. Great for breakfast.

This coffee is perfect for my tastes. It is rich with chocolate tones

Excellent blend. Chocolates and nutty and smooth

Justin

Nice chocolate and roasty notes. Better in the French press than the Chemex. A well balanced easy drinking every day coffee.

This has been our favorite so far.

great flavor profile, however the roast was too dark for my preference

David

This was a solid coffee, but overall unimpressive. I felt the roast was actually a bit darker than we usually want, and it was a bit earthy in flavor for my test. I did not get any caramel notes.

Lisa

Brewed as espresso for lattes, this was my favorite so far. Subtlety sweet with smooth espresso flavor.

Was hard to get the grind right. Was an ok coffee, but did not wow me.

Good, although nothing special.

Fantastic! Perhaps the most chocolatey-smelling coffee I have ever had.

Dawnette

There’s coffee was very flavorful, and smooth.

Mark

I like it. It's not quite as good as the Kickapoo that I ordered at the beginning of my subscription (my favorite so far), but it's pretty good. I'd probably get it again.

I like!

Really nice. Tasted rich and almost creamy, not at all bitter. Perfect for holiday relaxation.

Smooth with a good aftertaste

Loved this coffee

10/24/2018

Melannie

Good but a bit too strong of flavor

9/18/2018

David

Definitely rich and chocolate notes, produces a brighter cup with a good touch of acidity.

Dani

Smooth, easy drinking

8/27/2018

Cornel

not impressed at all. Too weak

8/22/2018

Jonathan

Excellent sweet and rich flavor. Loved this one!

8/14/2018

Kimberly

The more I am learning about coffee, this has become my favorite. The smell is wonderful, but I think I like a little lighter roast.

8/14/2018

Russ

On the far end of the traditional scale. Syrupy, thick, and chocolaty. No bright, tangy, fruity notes. Solid blend, but tastes more like second than third wave coffee.

8/9/2018

Amy

I liked this one a lot and could definitely taste cacao and caramel. I also liked the very rich flavor this had, but would be interested in trying something just a bit stronger.

Tarik

Great for cold brew!

7/18/2018

Jeff

I love the complexity of the flavor. I get almost a chocolate-covered cherry vibe from this one. I like the blend of fruitiness and caramel-ness

7/11/2018

Joseph

Good for this style but not my typical preference

5/29/2018

Brett

Best coffee I've ever had. Plain and simple.

5/27/2018

Brandon

Good as straight espresso, but slightly unbalanced with a limey aftertaste. Mixed with milk, I find the aftertaste slightly off putting. Pretty good bean though, otherwise.

5/21/2018

Sarah

This taste burnt. Not great.

5/18/2018

Delia

A well-balanced, full-bodied coffee. A nice change of pace from the light Ethiopian varieties we've been drinking.

5/7/2018

David

This was one of my favorite coffees I've recieved in awhile. The sweet taste of the Ethiopian beans cut through the chocolate without tasting acidic or upsetting the balance of the blend.

MEH. 2 STARS BECAUSE OF THE PRICE. ITS NOT THAT BAD BUT FOR THE MONEY IT SHOULD BE AMAZING.

4/27/2018

Michael and Olivia

So far this has been our favorite. Good balance of flavor and body, but could have used a little more chewy nuttiness perhaps. A darn good cup though!

4/18/2018

Yaron

Good but not deep enough

4/10/2018

James

Great

4/6/2018

Gabe

Nice, a little more subtle than I would have thought from the tasting notes. But tasty.

4/4/2018

Gregory

I thought it was pretty good, but maybe a little too acidic. This may be my fault, though.

3/23/2018

Brett

Another great coffee. I really enjoyed the chocolatey winey notes. I like switching between a bright fruity coffee to a mellower medium roasted coffee. It keeps it fresh. Thank you

3/19/2018

Cody

Not bad, darker than I had imagined.

3/16/2018

Addy

Finally brewed this one right this morning! Smooth, slightly chocolatey, but no overt flavors. Good full mouthfeel.

3/8/2018

Catherine

Flavorful and lighter colored roast, yet still a strong coffee.

3/6/2018

Gervie

Great balanced coffee

2/22/2018

Christine

Good but a bit too dark for me.

2/13/2018

Connor

Good rich flavor.

2/9/2018

Nicholas

pretty good flavor here, maybe a little light for my taste. overall better than a lot of beans i have tried. i believe i liked the boldness, but it has a bit of a sour taste the end that I've come to find in most lighter coffee, perhaps it is the slight caramel flavor. its not too heavy which i like but leaves a little bit of an undesirable smokey taste at the end.

Very good.full body.

it tasted good

Troy

Absolutely loved this coffee. I tend to be biased towards sweeter notes but this one struck a good balance for me. Not too sweet, not to acidic. Very well rounded. Great coffee. Just didn’t knock my socks off.

J William

Aroma and taste as advertised. Very satisfying.

Nancy

We aren't extremely refined in our palates but this was far too bitter. I ended up taking it to work for others because we didn't enjoy it. The guy in the office who drinks two day old microwaved coffee also found it too bitter! However the Ozark Copper Espresso roast was very smooth and rather addicting so don't write this roaster off if you too aren't a fan.

Delicious! Balanced and rich.

Duly noted that "this blend pairs great with cream or milk." I found this coffee to be a little too harsh and bitter, and had a hard time getting through it!
